"Platform and the hotel is different, there is no room is not living situation for the customer.Online travel docking platform just hotel, no hotel platform itself.Group hotel have a reservation for someone who's in charge of network business, full can call ahead to inform the customer cancel the order, but most of the hotels are not the process."Xue Yong said.
